My memory of the status cells is a bit old, but I believe there is a way to 
indicate the text attribute of the current cell. 

Also of use 

vo-command-o Find font change 
vo-command-p find plain text 
vo-command-i find next italic text 
vo-command-u find next underlined text 
I don't believe there is a highlighted text option, but vo-HH would help you 
verify.

                Best wishes,

Jonathan
